2013 Doctor of the Day Program

 

The 2013 legislative session is just two months away and the FL Office of Legislative Services will once again be coordinating the Doctor of the Day program.  For those of you who might not be familiar with this program, since the 1960's, the Florida Legislature's Doctor of the Day program has provided lawmakers with medical care during the legislative session while serving to strengthen physician-legislator relations. During each of the 60 days of session, two physicians - one for the House of Representatives and one for the Senate - provide any necessary care to legislators, their staff members, and others at the Capitol. FMA, County Medical Society and Specialty Society member participation in the Doctor of the Day program not only provides a valuable service, but also continues a noble tradition. The 2013 legislative session begins on Tuesday, March 5 and is scheduled to end on Friday, May 3.

College of Surgeons to review Florida Trauma Centers

 

A team from the American College of Surgeons will conduct a review in February of Florida's trauma center system.

The review comes as the Department of Health rewrites the rules it uses to approve new trauma centers. An appeals court last year ruled that the old rule, which had been unchanged was 1992, was no longer legal.
